An Atom Probe is a scientific instrument with the full name “atom probe field ion microscope”. The atom probe allows individual atoms to be seen and also identified. An atom probe is a point ...

It takes chemist Liaisan Khasanova less than a minute to turn an ordinary silica glass tube into a printing nozzle for a very special 3D printer. The chemist inserts the capillary tube—which is just ...

Nanomaterials with core-shell architectures are prominent examples of strain-engineered materials. The lattice mismatch between the core and shell materials can cause strong interface strain, which ...

A 3D force sensor that can image single trapped ions with a resolution on the sub-attonewton scale could be used in a number of practical areas, including as a probe to detect the electric fields ...

Atlant 3D has raised $15 million as demand grows for its manufacturing system that builds materials and devices atom by atom. Atlant 3D describes itself as a pioneering atomic-scale advanced ...

A relatively new technique for studying atoms might shed more light on how life began on Earth. Scientists have used 3D atom mapping (specifically, atom probe tomography) to discover that the oldest ...

What is Atom Probe Tomography? Atom Probe Tomography (APT) is a powerful analytical technique that provides three-dimensional (3D) imaging and chemical composition analysis of materials at the atomic ...

It's been 37 years since scientists first demonstrated the ability to move single atoms, suggesting the possibility of designing materials atom by atom to customize their properties. Today there are ...

It takes chemist Liaisan Khasanova less than a minute to turn an ordinary silica glass tube into a printing nozzle for a very special 3D printer. The chemist inserts the capillary tube – which is just ...

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging of individual atoms is a critical tool for discovering new physical phenomena and developing new technologies in microscopic systems. However, the current ...

Intel has a new 3D technology to allow for 3D chip stacking, despite previous problems with this type of capability. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new window) Share ...
